Some roads in the Western Division are closed following continuous heavy rain and flooding yesterday.

Fiji Roads Authority says the road between Ba Bridge and Vadravadra at Wailailai Flats is closed as it is underwater.

The road at Rabulu village in Tavua is also closed.

There are two underslips in Kabisi and Nawai in Sigatoka.

FRA also confirms that Bureiwai Bypass in Ra has been washed away.

The Authority says contractors will prioritise restoration works once weather improves.

Queens Road from Mango Bay to Lautoka is accessible apart from one lane closure at Kabisi and Nawai.

All major roads in the Central and Northern Divisions remain open.
